Inside of VB6, there's an action that says "Create Installer Package" or something like that.

Hi
U can use Package and Deployment Wizard which comes with VB6
To open package and deployment

> Go Start -> Program Files -> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0-> Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Tools -> package and Deployment wizard

or

> Open VB Project
> Choose Add-Ins->Add-In Manager menu
> Choose Package and Deployment Wizard
(Tick Load/Unload and Load on Startup)

>This will help u to create ur own installer

or you can use third party package creator such as setup factory... this will give you a more sophisticated installer (options such as adding a serial number validation, more simple registry customization, etc.)

it will be better to handle the database part manually if it is sql server or oracle.
Share your Knowledge.
